combo box output items name instead values

[weitong]

I met a problem with combox application.

By selecting the combox item name, I wish to get the corresponding values. But always the combo box gives item name, even if I use its property node(value).

Occasionaly, If I uncheck "Allow undefined values at run time"  under the combo box propeties "Edit Item" tab, then it output values instead of item names.  After this, with  "Allow undefined values at run time"  checked, it output values, too.  Strange behaviour!  

This is not always working.

What is the VI supposed to show?

[billko]

When you uncheck the box, did you actually define values for your control?

The VI (string2 and string3) is supposed to show the values which is defined in the item table.

I found the solution. To achieve this purpose, one have to use the Text.text property node to choose the item in the combo box. With a string given to the combo box, it doesn't work. This seems to be contrary to one's general thought.
